Lay up

An easy shot at doing something

This analogy is taken from basketball, when you have the court clear in front of you and can just lay the ball up near the basket, and use one hand to bounce it off the backboard and into the basket. The layup is considered the most basic shot in basketball

Bro I got you her number and insta, and she was already into you, I handed you a lay up, and you still fucked it up?

The guy interviewing me for the job was an ex-colleague and my best friend. The interview was a layup.

Get the Lay upmug.

Lays

Air. Just air. If you are lucky. One chip at the bottom. Just expensive air.

I just breathe Lays. Everyone breathes lays. Were all lays.

Josh: Hey Rocko, have you noticed how Drew has been acting lately?

Rocko: Yeah, he's been a bit strange. What's up?

Josh: Well, I hate to say it, but I think Drew's turning into a "lay-away at the pawnshop ass nigga."

Rocko: Really? How do you figure?

Josh: Last week, he told me he had to put a microwave on layaway at the pawnshop just to afford it.

Rocko: Man he is always broke!
